In case your invoice has not been paid yet, this can have multiple reasons, which may include:

  1. We have not received your invoice yet;
  2. We have received your invoice, but there is a discrepancy so it needs to be manually checked by the Accounts Payable (AP) team;
  3. The payment terms are not due yet.

Our AP team is continuously reviewing invoice discrepancies to ensure invoices can be paid correctly and as soon as possible. After our review you will be notified via e-mail with the status of your invoice, or you can find the status of your invoice in Sunweb Group’s Supplier Portal.

Why has my pre-payment/guaranteed payment not been paid timely?2022-08-30T21:50:21+01:00

In case a pre-payment/guaranteed payment has not been paid timely, this is typically due to the payment scheme (resulting from the contract) which was not validated in time internally to ensure that our payment run follows the agreed payment schedule. In this case, please notify your contact person so our team can adjust the payment scheme accordingly to ensure that future payment runs will be executed effectively.

What does my invoice status mean?2023-02-03T16:01:21+01:00

Invoice Status Invoice status description
Received The invoice is received but there is a discrepancy. The invoice can be linked to a creditor number but not all invoice line items can be matched automatically, for example due to:

  • An overbooking, rebooking, or incorrect ‘during of stay’ due to overbooking period),
  • An incorrect booking number
  • Services that are mentioned on the invoice but not in the booking
  • Incorrect information on the invoice (e.g., invoice date or invoice date/arrival date in the future or in correct)
  • A cancelled booking
  • The invoice containing indirect (e.g., tourist taxes) costs and direct costs (when the invoice should solely contain direct costs)
  • Credit note received from the partner (when this is not required)
Partly Matched The calculated costs by the partner do not match the Sunweb Group purchase value, for example due to:

  • Price differences (e.g., different contract interpretation)
  • The discount calculation in case of multiple discounts (the order in which different discounts are used to calculate the purchase value)
  • Missing information for transfer fees (e.g., use of multiple arrival locations, multiple transfers with one price)
  • A partly guaranteed contract (invoice is only accepted for values above the guaranteed value)
  • A gateway contract (e.g., different room type or prices)
  • Gross/net invoices (incl. commission)
Fully matched or Completed The invoice is approved and ready for payment:

  • Fully matched: the invoice is matched today
  • Completed: the invoice was matched before today
Paid The invoice is paid & the paid date is provided
Rejected The invoice has been registered but does not meet (one of the) Sunweb Group invoice requirements (e.g., missing/incomplete booking number, not a unique invoice number, missing invoice date)
Deducted The credit invoice is deducted & date is provided. The original invoice amount has been deducted by a credit invoice due to price differences or settlements/deposits, or complaints. It is not required for a partner to send a credit note.
